Pips out vs Inverted
Equipment
Jerry Leslie Asked 8 years ago
I have a decent backhand stroke, I believe. However, when I miss, I tend to "over lift" the ball. I use Tibhar Nimbus Sound (inverted). Do you think switching to a short pips rubber would be advisable?
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I don't think you need a change in rubber perhaps just a slight change in stroke. Focus on the same contact but getting your bat moving more forward. It will be the subtlety of the change of the spin and speed of the incoming ball as well that you need to watch and adjust to.
If you are not recognising this you will find the same mistakes happening with short pips.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
